Learning Assistants are prepared to support student learning in interactive classroom environments. Learning Assistants learn about teaching math and science while they’re learning the math and science content.
Research has shown that the Learning Assistant program has multiple impacts:
- Students enrolled in the course and their Learning Assistants both learn the subject better.
- The Learning Assistants become better teachers and learners.
- Faculty become better teachers.
- The university is impacted as a whole.
